Lightning

I did this piece in creative writing class a few years ago. this format is called pantoum, and is only made of a few lines that are arranged in a specific pattern this is my first poetry to be uploaded, and I think I may do it again.

ZAP! Lightning strikes all at a time A colorful show, but completely destructive What a miraculous sight.

Lightning strikes all at a time Electric shocks, at least 10,000 volts What a miraculous sight Only to see once in a lifetime

Electric Shocks, at least 10,000 volts A one hit kill to anyone Only to see once in a lifetime The show is almost over.

A one hit kill to anyone A colorful show, but completely destructive The show is almost over ZAP!
